Hep-Th, or high-energy theoretical physics, explores the fundamental building blocks of our universe and the forces that govern them. Researchers in this field use complex mathematics to understand everything from subatomic particles to the behavior of black holes, often pushing the boundaries of what we know about space and time.
At Gist.Science, we monitor the arXiv repository to ensure you stay ahead of the curve in this rapidly evolving discipline. For every new preprint uploaded to arXiv under this category, our team generates both accessible plain-language overviews and detailed technical summaries, making cutting-edge research understandable regardless of your background.
Below are the latest papers in high-energy theoretical physics, curated to help you navigate the most significant recent discoveries.
This paper proposes a loop-level generalization of the inverse KLT kernel as a planar integrand defined by a Berends-Giele-like recursion, demonstrating its structural equivalence to cubic scalar theory integrands and its ability to unify cubic scalar and non-linear sigma model scattering through kinematic -shifts on the kinematic surface.
This paper demonstrates that symbolic regression applied to numerical on-shell data can autonomously rediscover fundamental analytic structures in scattering amplitudes, including KLT, Kleiss-Kuijf, and BCJ relations, thereby establishing a data-driven strategy for uncovering hidden theoretical connections like the gravity-gauge duality without relying on prior group-theoretic knowledge.
This paper derives the scalar field configurations for rotating Q-balls in two spatial dimensions to analytically explain their quantized angular momentum and characteristic angular velocity, validating these approximations against numerical results to provide deeper insights into their properties as potential dark matter candidates.
This paper numerically investigates the displacement memory effect induced by a wave pulse in regular black hole spacetimes, revealing that the resulting net displacement depends on the regularization parameter and pulse height, and differs significantly from that observed in singular black holes.
This study demonstrates that deviations from the standard primordial power spectrum can significantly enhance or suppress the detectability of non-trivial cosmic topologies in CMB temperature data, highlighting the critical need to account for primordial spectrum uncertainties in topology searches.
This paper argues that while non-compact gauge symmetries can be broken by introducing an uncountable infinity of fields, doing so causes the effective field theory to break down and decompactify into a higher-dimensional theory that naturally lacks the non-compact gauge symmetry, thereby resolving the apparent conflict with quantum gravity's prohibition of global symmetries.
This paper investigates the hydrodynamics of relativistic, charged, superheated bubbles in neutron star mergers, identifying unique pressure behaviors and metastable fluid regions distinct from supercooled bubbles while analyzing their impact on gravitational wave production efficiency.
This paper proposes a phenomenological framework using the Einstein-Langevin equation and a hollow mass-shell model to simulate gravitational wave generation as a stochastic Wiener process of graviton fluctuations, yielding a heuristic scaling relation and qualitative waveform resemblance to macroscopic observations.
This paper establishes a covariant framework for semi-classical spin hydrodynamics in flat and curved spacetimes, demonstrating that spin and fluid modes decouple in the linear regime with damping governed solely by spin relaxation coefficients, while also highlighting the limitations of the Gibbs stability criterion due to equilibrium anisotropy and confirming similar relaxation dynamics in a conformal Bjorken flow background.
This paper extends the study of Floquet Conformal Field Theories to higher dimensions by utilizing quaternionic representations to classify dynamical phases in multi-step drive protocols, revealing a fundamental geometric correspondence where heating, critical, and non-heating regimes map to the presence or absence of non-extremal and extremal Killing horizons in the system's base and dual AdS spaces.
